Gt-r Clutch Pedal Query

Hi Guys!

Got this bit of a problem w/ my GT-R BNR32 clutch pedal. I have a Nismo super coppermix twin, new master and slave clutch cylinders. I noticed that there are times that when I step on my clutch pedal sometimes it's hard and I can hear an air like sound that goes "shhhhhh" along w/ it. But right after that pedal feel, it goes back to normal. This happens a lot especially when the car is not used for like 5 days straight.

I have a push type clutch by the way. Hope GT-R gurus here can help me. Thanks!!!

GTR's have vacuum assisted clutch master cylinders, you probably have a vacuum leak somewhere, this will make you use more of your own strength when the vacuum assistance is lessened. Sounds odd that its intermittent though.

If your wondering why ur clutch pedal is heavier when engine is off, that is the reason and its completely normal. If it gets to the "engine off heavyness" while the engine is on then you Definitely have a leak.

Thanks for the reply bro! Actually it happens when the engine is one... Damn! Now how to locate this vacuum leak? :P This would be quite hard since this problem does not happen regularly. Any advice mate?

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
